The most modern grandma in Serbia: She has profiles on all social networks, writes a blog, makes parties and best food, she has fans and few haters (PHOTO) (VIDEO)
- Grandma kisses. You are from Telegraf? I have your application for a long time, its really fancy - said grandma Jela as soon as she answered the phone. She sound like one of those good grandmas from cartoons with magic wand in her hand and i picture her like that while we are talking. And before i heard that she is one super granny, but she disarmed me with these modern expressions. Grandma lives in Despotovac, she has profiles on every social network and she gathered an army of 40.000 followers in two years and she chats with them every day. That is just a beginning.
Jelena Petrovic spent her entire career as an agricultural expert. Now, she runs a blog and has a YouTube channel where she makes parties, and puts on videos of delicious food. Instead of a wand, she uses rolling pin to make magic.
When she turned to Internet and discovered all of its glory, she started writing a blog, and she started a website "My youth". People who don't know her wondered why was she active on social networks, even the closest friends. They wonder how is she doing it.
- Oh, my child, i have been a blogger for 10 years, and a cook for my entire life - said gradma Jela laughing while i was thinking, how many young people knew for blog 10 years ago. Not mentioning the writing.
- And there, i became a sensation just because i was on social networks. Everybody is wondering. And in just two years a loyal army of 36 .000 followers gathered around me, or as i like to call them "bee workers". In time there is an occasional hater that appears on FB and leaves a mean comment on Facebook. You should see my bees focusing on him to defend their granny - said Jela.
Besides her fans, her greatest support is grandpa Milan and she has been married with him for over 40 years.
- He is my main cameraman. He makes all the videos i publish. Besides that, grandpa is an economist, consumer, assistant, whatever it takes. Since i am forbidden to eat sweets, he eats everything i make, and grandpa gained some weight - said Jela again smiling.
- But its not easy to start. Not everybody can stand in front of the camera. You need posture, good diction, you need to know how to behave. My grandsons taught me technical stuff, and i guess i was born with the rest - said this modernized host.
Grandma Jela is a terrific cook. When she is talking about food, you can even feel the smell and the taste of stuffed donuts with cream she is making right now.
- That's right, i am a very good cook. So far i wrote and published over 400 recipes. I read a lot, i watch tutorials, i search the internet. I work everyday to improve myself. Do you know my clips are being watched all over the internet? However, i only miss Chinese, Japanese and aliens, all others are following me.
Grandma Jela, who said that she is over 60 years old, never stops. She makes parties every Saturday for the entire world over her YouTube channel.
- Well yea, you have those streams now and then i start a party every Saturday and they send me so much messages and i can't respond to them all. There are women in Australija, who set their alarms at three at nigh because of the time difference, to come and to hang around with me. Forget about DJ-s, the best parties are at grandma Jela - she said and i am already laughing from the heart with every sentence.
- Make sure to try and make something after my recipe. There, i recommend a pie gourmets love. And let me know how it turned out. Just follow instructions. Grandma kisses, bye, bye - she says goodbye and promises one delicious cake for the editorial staff.
